they were here

A flock of stark, white, static two-dimensional birds inhabit a tree. The birds’ physical negatives were modeled on the actual species that once inhabited Manhattan. According to a recent Audubon Society report, 20 species of birds are declining at a rate of 68 percent. Stop by the park for a vision of what once was.  Location: Clement Clarke Moore Park, 22nd St. and 10th Ave.  Installation dates: April 3-10 2008.
